We do our best to find a pet that works for you and your lifestyle. Let s get started! ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: REVIEW PRIOR TO APPLYING We require an application, references, a copy of a driver s license or other state issued ID, a home visit (on occasion), as well as an adoption contract. All of your current pets must be spayed or neutered, unless it is a service dog, show animal or if your animal has a medical condition which would not allow it to be sterilized (you'll need a letter from your vet). If you rent or are living with a family member, we ll need confirmation from your landlord/property owner stating you re allowed to adopt the animal(s). We have a form for this purpose. We expect that you will pay your pet deposit and pet rent if applicable. If you own your home, we may verify this with the county. If your name is not on the county's records as the owner, we will need a letter from the property owner stating you're allowed to keep the animal(s) in the home. We have a form for this purpose. When we schedule a home inspection with you, we expect you to be ready to adopt the animal. We expect that the entire family has agreed to adopt and is ready to bring the animal into the family. We do not ship our animals. You must be within reasonable distance to the Englewood CO area. The applicant must be over the age of age of eighteen. We may ask to see your driver s license at the time of the home visit. We expect the address on your license to match the address where we're doing the home visit. If it's different, we'll need to see utility bills or other such documentation proving you live at the address where the home visit is done. You will provide proper introduction to other animals in the household or animals met outside the household. If the adoption is not working out, you will contact SDR to return the animal and you will not take it anywhere else. If you rent, it is your responsibility to verify any size or breed restrictions with your landlord and to notify SDR of such. You are responsible for verifying city, county or state laws regarding the keeping of cats and dogs, including the legal number of cats/dogs allowed, licensing requirements and

2 whether certain breeds of dog are banned or restricted in your community and to notify SDR of these requirements or restrictions.
